From NPR.
Venezuelan opposition leader María Corina Machado has given her Nobel Peace Prize medal to President Trump, a move opposed by the Nobel committee. In a social media post, Trump wrote, quote, “María presented me with her Nobel Peace Prize for the work I have done. Such a wonderful gesture of mutual respect.”
Trump has openly coveted the prize and last week expressed anger that President Obama won it.
Machado won the prize for leading opposition to former authoritarian president Nicolás Maduro, whom the Trump administration has deposed. The Nobel committee issued a statement earlier this month saying that a prize cannot be “revoked, shared or transferred.”
